Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Nine: From Triumph to Sorrow I (2/2)
*Sigh*, he was probably the only one that could handle Yan Jin’s temper.
Xiao Yu suddenly praised himself happily. Then, he reached his hand into his pocket and grabbed an object in his fist. Then, he used that fist to knock on Yan Jin’s shoulder. “Hey.”
“What?” Yan Jin was still trying to maneuver them out. He hadn’t selected a good space to park in earlier and was now stuck in an awkward spot. Parked cars surrounded them on both sides and it wasn’t easy to get out.
“We’ve been living together for so long now. Let’s get married.”
His fist slowly opened to reveal two beautiful diamond rings.
If these two diamond rings designed by a world-class designer were released onto the market, they would definitely cause a sensation.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t be sold. They could only be given to his beloved.
With a great effort, Yan Jin ripped his gaze away from the dazzling diamond rings glittering under the sun. Then, he saw an even more dazzling sight:
The deep red cheeks and the bashfully teary eyes of the person he loved the most.
……
After a very loud crash, one of the eyewitnesses on the street around them called the police.
However, by the time the police arrived, the owner of the damaged car had already been completely subdued by Yan Jin’s tyranny and riches into one of his honorless grunts.
“Don’t mind us, don’t mind us. Someone was just a little careless when backing out and scratched my car. Sorry for the trouble, officer!”
The car owner turned a blind eye to the fifty centimeter long gouge in the car door and instead pointed at a hardly noticeable scratch.
The policy officer said, “…Hasn’t your car’s door entirely caved in?”
“Aiya, the door was already broken. I had been planning to get this fixed for a while, and then all this commotion happened. I’m very sorry.”
Yan Jin rolled down his car window and said, “Yeah, I only slightly scratched the car door when I was reversing my car.”
Xiao Yu holed himself up in the passenger seat and covered his face in his arms. He was too embarrassed to look at anyone.
The officer said, “Then, what happened to this railing here?”
“This is our store’s railing. It was already crooked. I’ve been looking to get it fixed for the past few days. But then, it was bumped into by this customer and fell over. Sorry, it’s our fault; we didn’t take proper care of it.”
It was the owner of the restaurant who had also been bribed in a similar fashion. The railing that Yan Jin had knocked over was part of the restaurant’s outdoor seating decoration. At its top, there was a little furnace that could be lit up at night.
The officer looked at the other car owner, then looked at the store owner, and then finally looked towards Yan Jin… and his priceless Rolls-Royce.
The front of Yan Jin’s car was caved in, one of the lights were shattered, the railing was knocked over, and the neighboring car had a fifty centimeter long gouge. The truth couldn’t be more obvious.
But to the officer, this clearly didn’t need an incident report. The people involved were very agreeable. It didn’t matter what had happened. Even though the police were very curious why everybody was speaking up for the offending driver, the police didn’t need to argue.
They never would have guessed that this was all because of Chairman Yan’s reaction to receiving his lover’s marriage proposal.
……
“Are you still able to drive us home?”
Initially, Xiao Yu was worried that the damage to the front of the car would make it impossible to drive. But, when he saw Yan Jin’s face full of excitement and happy humming, he was more concerned whether Yan Jin himself could drive.
“No need. I called a taxi to pick us up.” Yan Jin laughed and added, “Let’s eat ice cream first before going home.”
“… I know you’re happy, but could you let go of my hand?”
“No, not in my lifetime,” Yan Jin said seriously.
Xiao Yu: “…” He’s really asking for it.
Their hands, with the rings on them, were firmly entwined. It was a truly a scene out of a storybook.
Of course, it wasn’t like this scene had persisted from the car accident.
Perhaps calling it a car accident was an exaggeration. When Xiao Yu had taken out the rings and popped the question, it wasn’t clear whether Yan Jin was excessively moved or had spasmed, but the steering wheel had turned a hundred and eighty degrees. Just as the Rolls-Royce had been about to pull out from its parking spot, it had collided with a bang, to Xiao Yu’s great alarm, with the neighboring car. Unexpectedly, that hadn’t been the end of it. The collision had pushed the neighboring car a few centimeters and the Rolls-Royce had swiped across to hit the railing, where it had finally died.
Throughout this entire process, Yan Jin had unexpectedly never let go of his hand. When the windshield had cracked, Yan Jin had even covered Xiao Yu’s body with his own.
Fortunately, nothing bad had happened.
Xiao Yu felt scared even thinking back on it now.
He never would have expected that a pair of rings could provoke such a reaction from Yan Jin. Yan Jin had always been calm as ever no matter what happened. Xiao Yu had even believed that everything was under Yan Jin’s control.
It seemed that he had accidentally stumbled across one of Yan Jin’s secrets.
Xiao Yu’s heart missed a beat.
He never would have dared to think that one day he could honestly speak his thoughts to the resolute Madam Fang and tell her that he liked and wanted to marry another guy. He definitely wouldn’t have dared to imagine that she would give them her blessing.
Everything had been given to him by Yan Jin. Every time he had thought something was impossible, Yan Jin seemed to easily give it to him.
Now, he discovered that perhaps it hadn’t been so easy for Yan Jin either.
To Xiao Yu, Yan Jin was a miracle. In his twenty-six years, Yan Jin was the biggest and greatest miracle to him.
Yan Jin glanced at his phone and said, “Our ride is here. Let’s go.”
“Yan Jin.”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you.”
